Reading of the Week

This week's reading uses the New Century Tarot.  I find this one to be great for when you need a direct, unvarnished reading.

The spread is another new one from Aeclectic Tarot called the Turning Things Around spread.  It's been a rough few weeks, I'm hoping this will reveal some good things coming.

 

Card 1, Top Left, Why are things so rough?, Judgment (rev).  You've been feeling like you get the raw end of every deal recently.  You feel trapped by your situation and that feeling keeps getting reinforced recently.

Card 2, Bottom Left, What is contributing to this feeling?, Hermit (rev).  You are afraid of taking the wrong path and making things worse.  You have tended to seclude yourself to try to minimize your feelings of frustration, but it seems to only be making your situation more acute.

Card 3, Top Middle, How to find the motivation to move forward, 8 Cups (rev).  The key is to just let go of the things that are holding you back.  Stop obsessing and start acting.  The momentum can be created if you just start with a little snowball.

Card 4, Bottom Middle, What help might others give, Queen Cups.  You have a lot of friends who may be able to lend an ear, give advice, and generally help you out.  Now is the time to stop secluding yourself away and start confiding in your allies. 

Card 5, Second from Right, Guidance from the Universe, Ace Cups.  There is a whole lot of good potential coming your way if you simply open yourself to it.  If you are so inclined, a little prayer and meditation will go a long way right now.  You may find that the answers to your problems are closer than you think if you slow down and sleep on the issues.

Card 6, Far Right, What can you do to turn things around, Four Cups.  You've been in a rut.  The waters have been stagnant.  Now is the time to get things moving.  There are possibilities coming soon, be open to them and your situation will improve.

There are a lot of cups and a couple of strong Major Arcana here.  This I would usually read as pertaining to relationships, but this reading feels like it's more about professional issues - your job is close to your heart and is therefore drawing a lot of cups right now.  It's been a very unsettled time right now, but with the shakeups you have seen there also comes great opportunity - if you reach for it.  Now is the time to move, not the time to wait for good things to fall in your lap.

Blessings!
